Hi Amy! That little dip container is "authentic" bento gear - I ordered it from a store called Ichiban Kan. They have actual stores in Northern CA and they used to have an online store (that I ordered from several times)...unfortunately, that online store closed. They come 4 in a set for $1.50, such a steal! You CAN find them on ebay, search for "bento mayo cup" and there should be a lot that pop up.Some other options that may be easier to find... Tupperware makes some tiny lidded containers, the Laptop Lunches box comes with a small lidded container, and even the disposable plastic cups (like Silo brand) that you get with take-out can be washed and used in bento boxes. Those are what I used when I first got started bentoing, before IchibanKan opened!

Hi there! That box is made by Lock & Lock and it comes with the four inner square dishes. Here's a link:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R9ZT2S?tag=funwithlunch-20&camp=213761&creative=393545&linkCode=bpl&creativeASIN=B000R9ZT2S&adid=1VAWHS886GDCMDTNK2PZ&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.anotherlunch.com%2F2010%2F02%2Flock-lock-bento-yes-another-one.html

Megan, unfortunately Lock & Lock has discontinued that particular box. :( So sad. There is a similar one they've introduced to replace it. You can see it here - http://bit.ly/O7j2Oo But it is currently out of stock. I suspect they will get more in after the Back-to-school rush is over, but I'm not certain.

I'm sorry. It's such a great box. So unfortunate they aren't making it any longer.
